First, they turned Google into a verb. Now, the Internet behemoth may hit the silver screen.

Deadline.com reports that Groundswell Productions and producer John Morris are working on acquiring the rights to Googled: The End of the World As We Know It by Ken Auletta. The book chronicles the rise of Google into the company it is today.

The movie will follow the path of co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Our suggestion: turn it into a comic-book thriller. After all, their slogan is “don’t be evil,” so why not feature Yahoo! as a supervillain? It’ll at least make it more exciting than The Social Network.
